Having challenges installing Digital Editions 2.0 and having the program initialize correctly.

I need to install Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) 2.0 so I can download books for my daughter's Nook from our local library.
I have tried installing ADE 2.0 way too many times to absolutely no avail. After downloading the ADE 2.0 install program, I have tried installing with Norton virus and firewall software turned off, turned on, restarting my computer after an ADE 2.0 install attempts with virus protection off and on, and everytime I have tried to do anything with the supposedly installed ADE 2.0, it crashes and Microsoft opens its error mesaging window because ADE 2.0 has encountered a problem.
On a couple times I have also received this error message:
Digital Editions.exe - Application Error Instructions at "0x8514c483" referenced memory at "0x8514c483". The memory could not be "read". Click "ok" to terminate the program.
I have also re-downloaded the install program numerous times under different anti virus software operating scenarios (software enabled/disabled, etc), and everytime after the installation is complete, the program crashes. Each time an install attempt failed, I uninstalled the program and went through a full ADE 2.0 install. Sometimes still using the same install program and also after re-downloading the ADE 2.0 install program. Everything I have tried has failed.
I am also using an older Windows XP PC, but despite being a relatively older computer, this install and initialization challenge should not be occurring.
Short of finding a copy of the ADE 1.7 version and seeing if that will work (was suggested by user sjgt when replying to a post by su-anster on 26 Dec at 0358), does anyone have any suggestions? This should not be such a challenge. Thx

Thanks for our reply. I already have installed Overdrive Media Console
without any challenge. What I have ended up doing as a quick fix is I
located and downloaded the ADE 1.7 version and after doing so, everything is
working fine. Obviously I am not using Adobe's latest and greatest ADE 2.0
version with whatever associated bells and whistles, but ADE 1.7 is doing
what I need to do to and that is allow me to download Adobe Epub files from
our local library and to create an interface to my daughter's Nook. If
using the 3M Cloud app provides some greater functionality I might try that
as well, but my problem is not connectivity with my daughter's Nook. It is
ADE 2.0 not installing and initializing on my computer. I never got to the
point of trying to download files because ADE 2.0 was constantly crashing
when I opened the supposedly, correctly installed program.

Upgraded to Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 and having trouble opening ebooks on ereader

I upgraded to Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 from 1.7 which I use to borrow ebooks from the library. I transfer the ebooks from my computer to my Kobo ereader. Everthing was working just fine with version 1.7. Since upgrading to version 2.0 I can no longer open ebooks that I have transfered to my Kobo ereader.
I checked and Adobe Digital Edition verion 2.0 and it indicates that both my computer and Kobo reader are authorized.

ADE sometimes gets registrations confused and half registered.
Probably worth deregistering and re-registering.
To de-register the computer, ctrl-shift-D to ADE (cmd-shift-D on Mac), restart ADE, and then reregister.
That may well be enough, but if needed:
to de-register the device, ctrl-shift-E to ADE (cmd-shift-E on Mac) with the device plugged in, restart ADE, and then reregister.
~~~
There are also bugs in ADE2.0 that mean using it with some eReaders goes OK with most books, but not with Overdrive library books.
My Sony PRS-350 is an example. The only solution I found was to revert to ADE 1.7.2.
(Quite a few other bugs in ADE2.0 as well).

How can I finish installing Digital Editions 1.7.2, and save my library and annotations?

In order to migrate my library from my old PC, the first thing I did was to install Digital Editions version 1.7.2 on my new PC. I couldn't install version 3 right away because then I'd lose thousands of annotations. I have to figure out what additional steps are needed to complete the migration and in what order.
I will copy all files in the \My Digital Editions directory from the old PC to the new PC. I also have to be sure the new PC can find my PDF files and notes in the directories on my new PC. This requires editing the MANIFEST XML file to change the PDF directory locations. I hope that's the only XML editing I need to do, since I don't know XML.
I understand from another user (sjpt) that I may need to "deregister ADE on the new machine (ctrl-shift-D) and then reregister it." That may be due to Digital Rights Management. So I will activate my new computer with Digital Editions using an ID. I expect to do that step last, since I have just a few books with DRM.
I plan to perform these steps in the order I've described them. I think I've identified all the steps needed to get Digital Editions 1.7.2 working. I'd welcome advice from other users who have experience in migrating their libraries. Thanks
P.S. Documentation on Digital Editions seems pretty minimal, so I'm wondering if Adobe is phasing out the product.

You can start by asking in the Digital Editions forum, Adobe Digital Editions. This is the Reader one.

Problems I'm having with Adobe digital editions

Hi.
I hope that you can help me sort out the problems I’m having with Adobe digital editions. I installed it when I bought an e-book reader, and it worked just fine.
I think the problems started after I downloaded some updates, and I can still download books from my public library onto my laptop, but can’t transfer them to my e-book reader.
It says that my laptop is not authorised, and when I try to authorise it I get the following statement which is printed in red on my screen.
Activation server error.
Code: e_auth_not_ready
Digital edidtions encountered an error on the activation server
I hope that the above will give you some insight into what my problem might be, and that you can suggest a fix for it.
Thank you so much for any help you are able to give me.
Regards, ron.
ps I'm using ver 3 and can't find answers in the FAQ section.

Thanks!

Trouble installing Digital Editions

I have windows vista and when I try to download the program the adobe digital editions installer prompt me to click yes to download and continue the installation, however when I do click yes nothing happens, this prompt simply remains on the screen. Does anybody know how I can get around this problem and download the program?

I have the exact same problem. Looks like this is universal and no one from Adobe seem to know how to help. I am even concern that they do not even know they have this product because I called the help desk from Singapore and I was routed to a call center who have absolutely no idea what I am talking about when I mentioned Adobe Digital Editions Installer!! Then the guy called his supervisor and the supervisor told me to do the standard things like turn off the firwalls and anti-virus programs. I told him that I have done that 10 times and rebooted my computer and the ADE still do not install itself. After 1 hour of holding on and speaking to him, he said the server where the program resides in is having problems and promised to call me back and send me the program to install directly on my computer the very nxt day. Nothing happens for 5 days. Then he wrote me an email and asked me again to turn off my firewall but mentioned something like "Karpersky Firewall" I only have the basic Windows Defender firewall and so, I wrote back. It is already 7 days into this episode and still no ADE installer and my ebook is still unread.
PS - the guy who claimed to be the supervisor said that I am the only one who has this problem. Sounds like he is lying!!

Can't install Digital Editions

Downloaded Digital Editions 2.0 and clicked Run, I agreed to EULA, accecpted the default install option, it appeared to install OK and Digital Editions started but did not ask me to activate. I clicked on Help and a message appeared "Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I have tried uninstalling and re downloading with the same problem. Computer is an AMD 2800+, Win XP Home SP3. Any Suggestions?

Hi
Here is the link I was given:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403051/attachments/setup.exe
I have now tested it by downloading one of the books from adobe's sample ebook library. It opened in ADE fine but I haven't tried transfering to my ereader yet.
Good luck

Hello I am having problems installing Digital Publishing suite?

Can anyone help me?
Have installed the DPS App Builder, but am not being prompted to enter a serial number. Because of this I am not seeing the folio panel in Indesign.
All very confusing.....!?!?!?
Thanks
Sean

It may be worth trying an older version.
There have been quite a few issues with ADE2.0; though I don't recognize your problem as one of them.
You can get 1.7.2 from the Adobe site. Much more reliable than V2.0 in many ways.
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Cannot install Digital Editions

Trying to install digital editions onto a PC with Windows 7. If I select to do it as "current user" it claims "unable to elevate to administrative rights, error 6;" if I try to do it as Administrator it asks for a password without specifying which of the hundreds of passwords I have I am to use. If I use the password for the Adobe account I recently created, it claims the information is not correct. Why should a simple installation be so complicated?

Thanks, but that seems like a pretty obscure password, created, in this
case, some 4 years ago and used again since. Do you know how one finds
one's Windows 7 password?

I just installed iTunes on my computer, where I already have all my music. I went to Edit Preferences Advanced, and changed the iTunes Media Folder Location to where I have all my music, in the "Local Disk." But iTunes wont import all my music. Help?

Have you looked in the Music App on your iPhone? On the iPhone music is played by the Music App not iTunes.

I have adobe digital edition 2.0 and I am trying to authorize my erreader, but I am unable to find the 'manage library' before I open ADE.

I have adobe digital edition v2.0 and I am trying to authorize my erreader, but I am unable to find the 'manage library' before I open ADE. Where to I find the 'manage library'? and should I upgrade the ADE to version v1.7.2.?

To make Mail quit you'll need to perform a forced quit or, failing that, a forced shutdown.
When an application won't quit you can hold the Command and Option keys together and then type the ESC key. This (usually) brings up a dialog with all the running applications. Select the offending program and click the Force Quit button.
If this doesn't force the application to quit (quite rare) or if you cannot get the Force Quit Dialog to pop up, hold the power button for about 10 seconds to shut down the entire computer. This should be a last resort but sometimes is necessary.

Extend the EPM install to a new EOI and remove the old EOI's (server decommissioning). EPM version 11.1.2.1 and having essbase and planning; I understand removing EOI's is not as simple as 11.1.2.3 but any suggestion/steps would be of great help.

Next time try to create a topic that is not the question.
There was no option to remove epm instances in 11.1.2.1, basically the cloest you get is uninstalling the products on the server and hope that some of the info is removed from the epm registry

I cannot get Digital Editions to see and authorize my sony reader PRS-600

I cannot get Digital Editions to see and authorize my sony reader PRS-600. I am running windows Vista. I am registered and my PC is authorized, but I cannot get DE to authorize my reader. Any ideas?

Hi
Thank you so much to Reg for his answer to the above subject. I have been reading
/ searching / reading at both Adobe sites, Sony sites, library sites etc. for almos
t one month to find a solution to this problem.
I couldn't imagine that we had bought a device (Sony 650 Touch) that did not hold the correct software nor the correct manual. Unbelievable.
To those who come after me... go to THIS SITE http://ebookstore.sony.com/download/
and download the application for PC (top left) orMAC (top right). It takes time, but it works !
I'm just so happy now !!
